Release Notes

Release Notes

Dynamic Procedures: NOTAMs in Sidebar

  • View NOTAMs relevant to your selected approach or airport directly in the Dynamic Procedures sidebar for quick access to this essential information.
  • The new NOTAMs button in the sidebar always shows the number of relevant NOTAMs, even when it’s zero, and highlights the number in red when one or more NOTAMs are present.
  • Tap the NOTAMs button to view the list of active NOTAMs relevant to the selected approach, sorted in reverse chronological order. Tap Show All NOTAMs at the bottom of this list to view all NOTAMs associated with the airport, and use the NOTAM type filter at the top to view all Airport, Obstacle, TFR/ARTCC, or Jeppesen NOTAMs.
  • Procedure Advisor also now shows a red NOTAMs banner at the top of the approach transition and minimum selection view which you can tap on to view NOTAMs relevant to that approach.
  • Dynamic Procedures is currently available for all customers in the U.S. and Canada.

User Waypoint Styles

  • Customize the shape and color of your saved user waypoints created in ForeFlight or imported via CSV or Content Packs to unlock greater flexibility and new use cases.
  • When saving a point as a new User Waypoint or editing an existing one, tap the Waypoint Style field to select from six colors and six icon styles.
  • Customizing the style of waypoints created within ForeFlight Mobile is supported for all subscription plan levels, while styling for waypoints created on ForeFlight Web’s Custom Content tab for sharing within a multi-pilot account requires the Control Tower subscription add-on.

Breadcrumb Speed/Altitude Settings

  • Set the minimum speed and altitude required for Breadcrumbs to show on the map to better support rotorcraft and other low or slow flight profiles. 
  • Available altitude settings include 50, 100, or 250 feet, and groundspeed settings include 0, 20, or 40 knots, with defaults of 50 feet altitude and 40 knots groundspeed to match existing behavior.
  • Both the selected altitude and groundspeed values must be met in order for Breadcrumbs to be drawn on the map.
  • The settings are available in the new Map Settings > Breadcrumbs menu, which also includes the toggle to show or hide Breadcrumbs and the existing “Clear After” setting to determine how long after landing the Breadcrumbs will disappear from the map.

New Ownship Markers

  • Update your ownship marker and color to reflect your actual (or dream) aircraft with over a dozen new aircraft options.
  • A number of existing ownship markers have also been renamed, and the Ownship Marker menu now organizes all markers into groups: Standard (includes the default airplane marker and basic pointer), Airplane, Rotorcraft, and Other (includes the V-22 Osprey and blimp markers).
  • Available in More > Settings > Ownship Marker.

Sync Status View

  • Verify the status of your connection to ForeFlight’s Sync servers and view troubleshooting tips to help resolve data issues as instructed by ForeFlight’s Pilot Support Team. 
  • Available in More > Sync Status.

Prioritize Jeppesen Plates Setting

  • Jeppesen chart customers who also use other chart sources can disable this setting to use non-Jeppesen sources as the default when automatically displaying a chart, such as when tapping “Taxiways” from the Airports view or when adding an approach procedure to your route via Procedure Advisor. 
  • The setting is enabled by default to prioritize Jeppesen plates whenever they are available, matching current behavior.
  • Available in More > Jeppesen.
